Overview

My iOS app uses CloudKit key-value storage. I have not updated the app in a few years but it works fine. Since it was last updated, I transferred the app from an old organization to my personal developer account. Now that I'm working on the app again I get an error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.company.app" doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier entitlement. In the entitlement file, it has $(TeamIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier) as the value for iCloud Key-Value Store. I've verified the variables resolve as expected. When I parse the provisioning profile there is no entitlement value for key-value storage. What am I getting wrong?

When we upload workout data to HealthKit the route information with the workout detailed data is incomplete: just a few dots. When we select "Show all workout routes" the route data for the same workout shows correctly. We use the HKWorkoutBuilder to store the workout data, and add the location data with the HKWorkoutRouteBuilder to the workout with Is this an Apple Health issue, or do we have to change something in the way we store the location data to the workout?

I have an Apple TV photo slideshow app (Objective-C, Storyboard based, transitioned to scenes and UIKit from old Appdelegate model) which is trivial but exhibits a problem I can't fix. The app has 2 UIImageViews, pulls photos from iCloud, replaces the back view, fades between them, swaps front and back images. I cannot for the life of me work out how to tell tvOS / UIKit that I need to stay in the foreground. Other slideshow apps manage it, clearly movie viewing apps like Netflix, Disney+ and BBC iPlayer manage to stay on top without the user needing to interact with the UI, but I keep getting pushed out. The pushing out happens only if I am playing music on the Apple TV, either using the built-in music app or AirPlaying music to the Apple TV from an iPad or phone. The issue is reproducible in an app that does nothing except load up a photo from the main bundle into a UIImageView. It's as if the OS thinks I'm idle and I need to nudge it to remind it I'm still here, but I can find no hints in Apple's documentation as to how I should do this.

Hello My first submission attempt rejected by Apple review and I resolved issues then sent a new review. Now when I open the dashboard submission appears rejected but when I clicked the details it looks like in review. What should I do now? Thanks in advance

There is a conflict in SwiftData (specifically when synced with CloudKit) when a @Model attribute shares the same name as a case within its assigned enum type. When this occurs, accessing the attribute on a model instance consistently returns the value corresponding to the enum case name, rather than the actual value persisted in the database. Steps to Reproduce Define an enumeration (e.g., Status) with a case that matches a planned property name (e.g., case status). Create a SwiftData @Model that uses this enum. Name the property in the model the same as the enum case. Attempt to save and then retrieve the value. Example Code enum TaskStatus: String, Codable { case status // The conflict source case pending case completed } @Model class TodoItem { // Conflict: Property name matches enum case name var status: TaskStatus init(status: TaskStatus) { self.status = status } } Expected Behavior The property item.status should return the value stored in the database (e.g., .pending or .completed). Actual Behavior The property item.status consistently resolves to the enum case .status, ignoring the actual persisted data.

I have a total of 100 asset packs associated with my app but I have archived 5 of them. Unfortunately I am now unable to upload any more asset packs (the reported error is "backgroundAsset limit reached -- This app has already reached the maximum number of active backgroundAssets. Maximum allowed is 100.") I assumed that archiving asset packs would make them inactive (and thus not count against the limit). This seems to not be the case and I'm not sure how I can upload new asset packs.

We are facing an issue where we share the Taqeem app (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6692622292) but sharing is not working properly. Few iPhone gives image, url however few share only image as shown in attached screenshot. Also with our devices (iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro - especially Pro series) if we share any ad from our app, it is sharing only image and text + url that we share also not get shared. We were using regular code as below. So we believe that Share using UIActivityViewController is having an issue. Images are available at below links. https://ibb.co/RkG70NqH https://ibb.co/dJKBR9jc Code I used is as below. func shareDetails(shareText : String, shareURLString : String) { if let shareURL : NSURL = NSURL(string: shareURLString) { // If you want to use an image let image : UIImage = UIImage(named: "logo.png") let activityViewController : UIActivityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [shareText, shareURL, image], applicationActivities: nil) // This lines is for the popover you need to show in iPad activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = topVC?.view // This line remove the arrow of the popover to show in iPad activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection.down activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = CGRect(x: 150, y: 150, width: 0, height: 0) // Pre-configuring activity items if #available(iOS 13.0, *) { activityViewController.activityItemsConfiguration = [ UIActivity.ActivityType.message ] as? UIActivityItemsConfigurationReading } if #available(iOS 13.0, *) { activityViewController.isModalInPresentation = true } topVC?.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil) } } Thanking You

Hello everyone, When I press Control + Space on my Bluetooth keyboard to trigger input method switching, the accessory view fails to appear. This prevents me from quickly identifying the current input method type. Upon inspecting the View Hierarchy, I noticed that UICursorAccessoryView is not being created. For context, my input method responder inherits from UIResponder and conforms to the UITextInputTraits, UIKeyInput, and UITextInput protocols. The accessory view displays normally during accented input and Chinese input. Could you please guide me on how to troubleshoot this issue?

I would like to share an issue observed during app development. When changing Bluetooth settings from the system Settings app without using multitasking, the app does not terminate but instead logs the user out. However, when changing Bluetooth settings while using multitasking, the app terminates completely. In this context, I would like to understand: Whether there is any system behavior that causes the app to refresh or restart when Bluetooth settings are changed And why the app behavior differs in a multitasking environment, particularly in terms of app lifecycle handling Any insights into these behaviors would be greatly appreciated.

I followed the instructions on the page https://mfi.apple.com/en/help/login-help/How-to-Register-Your-Existing-Apple-ID.html to apply for the MFi Program. According to step 7 of the guide: "You have now created and registered your Apple Account. You will be automatically directed to the MFi Portal to begin the enrollment process," I should have been taken to the enrollment process after logging in. However, instead of accessing the enrollment page, a pop-up message appears stating: "The Apple Account you signed in with does not have permission to view this page. If you believe your company is currently enrolled in the MFi Program, please contact your company’s Account Administrator to request access to the MFi Portal. If your company is not currently enrolled in the MFi Program, please click here to learn about the program and start the enrollment process." This has created an endless loop—I cannot proceed to the enrollment process as instructed, and the pop-up only redirects me to information that leads back to the same login and permission issue. Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this and successfully access the MFi Program enrollment process?

I am having an app in which we are using NEHotspotHelper to detect wifi changes. when I try to kill the app and network change detected, we are seeing logs in NEHotspotHelper* module and after that we are able see the logs indicating app launched in background. [Application] application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:), UIApplicationState: 2 But when I checked in the app stack, I couldn't find the app. Then I clicked icon to launch the app, it launched without splash screen as if it came from background. Need your support to understand this is expected behaviour.

I got more than 1 TB Immersive videos, and I want to play from them. Is there a way I can connect a ssd to Vision Pro via developer strap? Or is it possible to connect to a 10G Ethernet ad, and then using Ethernet to connect to a disk/NAS and attach the drive via ip?

I neet to take pcm data from aac data, but this api has fossy me deeply.

We're seeing a sharp uptick in BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices crashes since we migrated from UIApplicationDelegate to UIWindowSceneDelegate. Having exhausted everything on my end short of reverse engineering BaseBoard or making changes without being able to know if they work, I need help. I think all I need to get unstuck is an answer to these questions, if possible: What does -[BSSettings initWithSettings:] enumerate over? If I know what's being enumerated, I'll know what to look for in our app. What triggers FrontBoardServices to do this update? If I can reproduce the crash--or at least better understand when it may happen--I will be better able to fix it Here's two similar stack traces: App_(iOS)-crashreport-07-30-2025_1040-0600-redacted.crash App_(iOS)-crashreport-07-30-2025_1045-0600-redacted.crash Since these are private trameworks, there is no documentation or information on their behavior that I can find. There are other forum posts regarding this crash, on here and on other sites. However, I did not find any that shed any insight on the cause or conditions of the crash. Additionally, this is on iPhone, not macOS, and not iPad. This post is different, because I'm asking specific questions that can be answered by someone with familiarity on how these internal frameworks work. I'm not asking for help debugging my application, though I'd gladly take any suggestions/tips! Here's the long version, in case anyone finds it useful: In our application, we have seen a sharp rise in crashes in BaseBoard and FrontBoardServices, which are internal iOS frameworks, since we migrated our app to use UIWindowSceneDelegate. We were using exclusively UIApplicationDelegate before. The stack traces haven't proven very useful yet, because we haven't been able to reproduce the crashes ourselves. Upon searching online, we have learned that Baseboard/Frontsoardservices are probably copying scene settings upon something in the scene changing. Based on our crash reports, we know that most of our users are on an iPhone, not an iPad or macOS, so we can rule out split screen or window resizing. Our app is locked to portrait as well, so we can also rule out orientation changes. And considering the stack trace is in the middle of an objc_retain_x2 call, which is itself inside of a collection enumeration, we are assuming that whatever is being enumerated probably was changed or deallocated during enumeration. Sometimes it's objc_retain_x2, and sometimes it's a release call. And sometimes it's a completely different stack trace, but still within BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices. I suspect these all share the same cause. Because it's thread 0 that crashed, we know that BaseBoard/FrontBoardServices were running on the main thread, which means that for this crash to occur, something might be changing on a background thread. This is what leads me to suspect a race condition. There are many places in our app where we accidentally update the UI from a background thread. We've fixed many of them, but I'm sure there are more. Our app is large. Because of this, I think background UI are the most likely cause. However, since I can't reproduce the crash, and because none of our stack traces clearly show UI updates happening on another thread at the same time, I am not certain. And here's the stack trace inline, in case the attachments expire or search engines can't read them: Thread 0 name: Thread 0 Crashed: objc_retain_x2 (libobjc.A.dylib) BSIntegerMapEnumerateWithBlock (BaseBoard) -[BSSettings initWithSettings:] (BaseBoard) -[BSKeyedSettings initWithSettings:] (BaseBoard) -[FBSSettings _settings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettings _settings] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettingsDiff applyToMutableSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSettingsDiff settingsByApplyingToMutableCopyOfSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSSceneSettingsDiff settingsByApplyingToMutableCopyOfSettings:] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSScene updater:didUpdateSettings:withDiff:transitionContext:completion:] (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke_2 (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSWorkspace _calloutQueue_executeCalloutFromSource:withBlock:] (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke.cold.1 (FrontBoardServices) __94-[FBSWorkspaceScenesClient _queue_updateScene:withSettings:diff:transitionContext:completion:]_block_invoke (FrontBoardServices) _dispatch_client_callout (libdispatch.dylib) _dispatch_block_invoke_direct (libdispatch.dylib) __FBSSERIALQUEUE_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_BLOCK__ (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSMainRunLoopSerialQueue _targetQueue_performNextIfPossible] (FrontBoardServices) -[FBSMainRunLoopSerialQueue _performNextFromRunLoopSource] (FrontBoardServices) __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopDoSource0 (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopDoSources0 (CoreFoundation) __CFRunLoopRun (CoreFoundation) CFRunLoopRunSpecific (CoreFoundation) GSEventRunModal (GraphicsServices) -[UIApplication _run] (UIKitCore) UIApplicationMain (UIKitCore) (null) (UIKitCore) main (AppDelegate.swift:0) 0x1ab8cbf08 + 0

Summary On Mac Studio systems (no built-in camera), macOS does not initialize camera services after a normal reboot if no physical camera is present. As a result, Continuity Camera does not appear anywhere in the system. Observed behavior System Information → Camera reports “No video capture devices were found.” Continuity Camera (iPhone) is completely absent from camera lists. Plugging in any USB UVC webcam immediately initializes camera services and causes both the USB camera and the iPhone (Continuity Camera) to appear. The USB camera can then be unplugged and Continuity Camera continues working until the next reboot. Reproduction steps Use a Mac Studio (no built-in camera) on recent macOS. Ensure no USB webcam or external camera is connected. Reboot the Mac normally. After login, open System Information → Camera. Expected Camera services should initialize even when no physical camera is present, allowing Continuity Camera to be available as the primary camera. Actual No camera devices are present unless a physical USB camera is connected at least once after boot. This reproduces 100% of the time on Mac Studio and appears to be a camera service bootstrap issue where Continuity Camera cannot be the first camera device. Issue has been filed via Feedback Assistant.

Hi, I’m experiencing a TestFlight issue affecting multiple apps in my account. Issue summary: • Several TestFlight builds across all of my apps expired at the same time. • After uploading new replacement builds, neither I nor my testers are able to install them. • Installation fails with the message: “Could not install {App Name}. The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” • The build shows as processed and available in App Store Connect. • Testers are already invited and active. • No redeem code is required. I am seeing the same issue on my own device as well. What I’ve tried: • Uploading new builds (incremented version + build number). • Confirmed builds are visible and available in App Store Connect. • Removing and re-adding testers. • Logging out of the app. • Deleting the app from the device. • Restarting the device. • Reinstalling directly from TestFlight. • Restarting TestFlight. Despite this, installation consistently fails with the “requested app is not available or doesn’t exist” error. Expected behavior: • New TestFlight builds should be installable once processed and available. • Testers (and the developer) should be able to install directly from TestFlight. • Expired builds should not block installation of newly uploaded builds. Additional context: • This started immediately after multiple TestFlight builds expired across my apps. • All affected apps were previously installing and testing without issue. • Apple Developer Support has been contacted, but I wanted to check whether others are seeing the same behavior or if there is a known workaround. Has anyone else encountered TestFlight builds becoming unavailable across multiple apps at once, or an install failure after replacing expired builds

Hi, I am a UI designer and a total newbie with coding, so I have been using AI in Xcode to do all my coding for my personal project. Everything was working fine until this morning, when I tried to run my app in the simulator (I didn't even change any code from the last time I ran the simulator) and now the simulator is crashing and freezing and I have been trying to fix it with the AI recommendations, but it seems way too complicated for me to handle even with AI's help. I feel like I need to talk to an expert and guide me out of this hole. Please help. Thank you!

I’ve been struggling with a very frustrating issue using the new iOS 26 Swift Concurrency APIs for video processing. My pipeline reads frames using AVAssetReader, processes them via CIContext (Lanczos upscale), and then appends the result to an AVAssetWriter using the new PixelBufferReceiver. The Problem: The execution randomly stops at the ]await append(...)] call. The task suspends and never resumes. It is completely unpredictable: It might hang on the very first run, or it might work fine for 4-5 runs and then hang on the next one. It is independent of video duration: It happens with 5-second clips just as often as with long videos. No feedback from the system: There is no crash, no error thrown, and CPU usage drops to zero. The thread just stays in the suspended state indefinitely. If I manually cancel the operation and restart the VideoEngine, it usually starts working again for a few more attempts, which makes me suspect some internal resource exhaustion or a deadlock between the GPU context and the writer's input. The Code: Here is a simplified version of my processing loop: private func proccessVideoPipeline( readerOutputProvider: AVAssetReaderOutput.Provider<CMReadySampleBuffer<CMSampleBuffer.DynamicContent>>, pixelBufferReceiver: AVAssetWriterInput.PixelBufferReceiver, nominalFrameRate: Float, targetSize: CGSize ) async throws { while !Task.isCancelled, let payload = try await readerOutputProvider.next() { let sampleBufferInfo: (imageBuffer: CVPixelBuffer?, presentationTimeStamp: CMTime) = payload.withUnsafeSampleBuffer { sampleBuffer in return (sampleBuffer.imageBuffer, sampleBuffer.presentationTimeStamp) } guard let currentPixelBuffer = sampleBufferInfo.imageBuffer else { throw AsyncFrameProcessorError.missingImageBuffer } guard let pixelBufferPool = pixelBufferReceiver.pixelBufferPool else { throw NSError(domain: "PixelBufferPool", code: -1, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "No pixel buffer pool available"]) } let newPixelBuffer = try pixelBufferPool.makeMutablePixelBuffer() let newCVPixelBuffer = newPixelBuffer.withUnsafeBuffer({ $0 }) try upscale(currentPixelBuffer, outputPixelBuffer: newCVPixelBuffer, targetSize: targetSize ) let presentationTime = sampleBufferInfo.presentationTimeStamp try await pixelBufferReceiver.append(.init(unsafeBuffer: newCVPixelBuffer), with: presentationTime) } } Does anyone know how to fix it?

Which HomeKit API serves for the Home application scene (HMActionSet)-related functionality “Remove from Home View” and “Add to Home View”? There must be a public API for that, for at the very least one 3rd party application shows/hides scenes appropriately as they are set up in Home; nevertheless, whatever I try, I can't find the API. Thanks!

I was very excited to see the addition of push notifications for widgets. However upon further inspection, the way it is implemented seems too limiting for real life apps. I have an app for time tracking with my own backend. The app syncs with my backend in the main executable (main target). My widgets are more lightweight as they only access data in the shared app container, but they don't perform sync with the server directly to avoid race conditions with the main app. I was under the impression that the general direction of the platform is to be doing most things in the main app target (also App Intents work that way for the most part), so the fact that the WidgetPushHandler just calls the widget's method to reload the timeline is very unfortunate. In an ideal scenario I also need the main app to be 'woken up' to perform the sync with the server, and once that's done I'd update the widget's timeline and where I would just read data from the shared app container. So, my questions are: What is the recommended way of updating the widgets when this push notification arrives in the case that the main app target needs to perform the sync first? Is there any way how to detect that the method func timeline(for configuration: InteractiveTrackingWidgetConfigurationAppIntent, in context: Context) was called as a result of the push notification being received? Can I somehow schedule a background task from the widget's reloadTimeline() function? How can I get the push token later, in case that I don't save it right away the first time the WidgetPushHandler's pushTokenDidChange() is called? Thank you for your work on this and hopefully for your answers. FB19356256
